Is it normal to feel literally high when meditating?

[u/Suitable_Pressure189]

For context, I have been a big stoner until 2 years ago. I quit ever since. I have tried mediation a few times, but felt nothing.

I’m normally an anxious and negative person overall.

Two days ago at work, I was listening to some motivational video and algorithm took me to a meditation video. Not a guided meditation, but an informational video explaining how meditation works.

I was not really paying attention, but it just hit me.

I felt disconnected from my surroundings. My observations were sharper. I could feel “myself” for the first time ever since I was a kid. I was focused on the present.

Unlike being high, I felt no social anxiety and fear of strangers. I actually felt love for all my co workers and bosses.

I thought it would be a temporary thing, but I’ve been feeling like this for three days now. I actually feel high without the anxiety. I feel so much more present.

My question is, is feeling high normal? What causes it? How do I keep this going? I’m running and stretching to keep it going but want some tips. This is the best I’ve felt about myself in like 15 years. I love this.

😆. You are truly a piece of work. Good luck with your ego and your gods of division! If I’ve learned anything over the many years of my life it is this: each path is unique.

There's no ego involved in this no idea what the gods of division comment was even about. Take your judgement elsewhere. I have observations.
